Yes, they will become lonely and depressed if they don't have another gerbil. You usually buy gerbils in pairs to stop this problem. However it is very dangerous to introduce two gerbils who have never met before. They can often end up killing each other. As when you buy them in pairs they are siblings. And have been together since a young age.
